When going to ZAP, all the student needs to bring is this PROGRESS REPORT and their iPad for my class. Students may open all assignments in neu.annotate, complete the assignments, and email them to me while they are sitting in ZAP. Students do not need to print work. Essays may be written on notebook paper, which the ZAP teacher will have. Detailed ZAP instructions are printed on the back of every detailed progress report and are on the ZAP Page on this website. If a student goes to ZAP without their Progress Report and iPad, they will be sent home. There are computers available in ZAP to students who have lost iPad privileges. Outside Reading is due on 1/8 at exactly 3:15. At 3:16 it is a permanent ZERO. Students need to use their time wisely for reading and getting the assignments done. Plan ahead! Happy reading!
